[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 204638, member: 3444"] I have a feeling with this economy we'll see lots and lots more yard sales, and lots more folks shopping thrift shops. Which can also means the pickings won't be as good! One year, at a church tag sale, I picked up two Heywood-Wakefield solid ash platform rockers from about the 1950's for $2 a-piece! Still have them, and some day I'll get around to refinishing them and refurbishing the hardware. Or so I keep telling myself... ;) I got easy child's bedroom set at my mom's friend's mom's (that's a mouthful) estate. For $700 I got two solid maple twin bed frames, two nightstands, a high-boy dresser, a lower dresser with-framed mirror AND the two mattress sets (ORIGINAL). The mattresses were a bit musty smelling, but still in good shape, so I just encased them in a vinyl zippered case and easy child used hers for about six years until she got heavy enough to notice the springs were starting to poke her :D I also got a GORGEOUS ivory French lace table cloth from this same person -- buffet length, and still with the tags and in its original box from Buffum's dept. store from about 1960. I've used it ONCE, and only with a clear vinyl cover over it. It's definitely heirloom quality and something I plan to hand down to easy child when she's grown. You just never know what treasures or deals you can find -- and they usually happen when you're not looking for them! [/QUOTE]
